Description
The purpose of the method is to determine residues of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics in samples from slaughtered animals, which, by treatment or feeding, have received such substances close to the time of slaughter. Kidney tissue is used for the assay as kidney tissue usually contains higher concentrations of residual antibiotics and chemotherapeutics than other organs and tissues. In special cases, muscle tissue can also be used. The method describes the detection, not identification, of bactericidal substances in carcasses. For quantification of content of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics, an expert laboratory should be contacted.
The method was withdrawn 24.04.2024 since it is not in use and will no longer be maintained.
